FIELDS MISFORTUNE.
He Loses Two or Three Millions On
His Manhattan Deal.

New YORK, June 80 Special Telegram
to the BEE. The World this morning says:
"Cyrus Field turned over the remainder Of
his Elevated railway stock to Jay Gould yes
terday. The amount was 10000 shares,
which, with the $4,000 shares previously dis
posed of by Field to Gould, shows the for
mers total holding to have been 5000 shares.
The value of Fields big block of stock at
Sl60 share, which was the market price be-
fore the downward movement began, was
Sll 200 900. lie now has no interest in Man
haitian and will retire from the board of d.
rectors. Gould will keep the first lot of
$1,000 shares to add to his own holding, max
ing his total interest in the stock of the COM
pany about $4,000, coo. The second lot of
10000 shares he will split up. This stock was
subscribed for yesterday. The World has the
whole story OF Mr.. Fields retirement from
good authority. 1t was enforced. He was car
rying his monstrous load on margins He
had borrowed money from nearly every trust
company IN the street on the stock as fast as
he required it in order to buy more. He
finally cornered the stock and ran the price
up to Sl70, The fate OF his corner was, how
ever, the fate of nearly all corners. Disaster
overlook it. After the collapse of the coffee
Fidelity bank the trust companies, banks and
other money lenders grew, distrusttul and
began TO call their loans. The market began
to shrink and Field cou id not margin down
his stock any lower. as he had no collateral
on which to raise money. Thursday night
he and his son Edwardiwont toGould's house
at lrvingtOn. Field told Gould the position
he was in. He could no longer carry his
load. Gould was satisfied of Fields solvency
if given relief from his elevated stock burden
and agreed to take the amount offered
$4,000 shares-at the price 1t averaged Field,
which was about Sl20. Gould came to New
York next morning to procure money and
complete the transaction. 1t turned out,
however, that Field was still unable to eXtri
cate himself, and yesterday he went to Gould
and asked the latter to take the rest of the
stock Gould agreed to do so and furnished
the money to margin it down. In the earlier
part of the day Fields face had indicated
great mental distress After the deal with
Gould was consummated he was in most ex-
celent spirits. Field. despite his great loss
in Manhattan, is still a wealthy man. He
has always been proud of the fact that his
name is historical as the promoter of the At
lantic cable and Elevated railway system of
New York. Russell Sage was asked last
night If the statement of Mr.Field's complete
retirement from the Elevated railway was
correct and he replied that it was. "Field
has disposed OF all his stock, as stated, to
| Gould"

CHILD LABOR.
Powderly Considers 1t the Founda-
tion of Ignorance.

PHILADELPHIA, June so 30-ISpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. l-General Master Work
man Powderly yesterday detailed the facts
concerning child labor cleaned from his long
residence in the coal regions lie showed
how children whose education was neglected,
as they grew into manhood, would naturally
gravitate into Knights of Labor-illiterate,
ignorant and devoid of intelligence. "These
are the men, continued MIR. Powderly, 'that
the Knights of Labor have to deal with and
If possible mold into something better. Men
who can't read when charges of corruption
are made can be led hither and thithcr by
any one who may be an enemy OF the of
icals, simply because they can't add up
column of figures. The Ignorance of many
knights Is what causes much of the trouble
in locals, but it does not end here. 1t makes
the men the tools of INSCRIPTIONS dcma-
gorues and places them.under influences that
about a state of affairs worse than
....vhy." Powderly's face frightened with
hope, but 1t darkcned again rs he said: But
there Is one question that the American
people must take up that locally concerns the
workingman. IL is or will become the burn
ing question of the day, an issue which Will
excel all others in importance, and that
question is the problem of the great unceas-
ing flood OF immigration from old Europe. |
am utterly opposed to all forms OF pauper
immigration ard to a great deal of immigra-
ton pure and simple think halt should
be called on immigration until this nation
can consider what 1t is doing in allowing
these nationalitles to enter here and become
burden on our country and a menace to
American homes. AS ruling to decide who
should be excluded would make it an al
most int1eXible rule that man or woman
who could not sustain himself or herself and
their respective families for one year should
not be allowed to land" Powderly refused
to say anything concerning the statement
that McGlynn intends to join the Knights of
Labor. The position of the general board
would probably prevent such an addition to
their membership. POwderly and all the
conservative knights are opposed to using the
order TO further any sNksllstc, communistc
and land theories They hold, as has been
clearly evident in recent utterapces by Pow
derly, that the mission of the knights is to
legisate for the best interest of American
workmen, free from all social and revolu-
tiOnary ideas. While Mctilynn will not be
refused admittance, it is clearly understood
that If he should attempt to raise party,
speak and act with decision and emphasis

DENVER, June S0.-l Special Telegram to

game from the Omahas to-day by their free
batting, assisted by some very rank decisions
of Umpire beagle, who seemed to have it in

tunity escape to decide against them. The
Denvers did some very good playing, hitting
the left handler for twenty-five bases and
playing the field without an error. The two
made were charged to Meyers. Omaha
played very good game, considering the
heavy batting and what they had to contend
with. When they learned they were handi-
capped by beagle they seemed to lose in
terest in the game and OLeary played list
lessly. The brilliant playing upon their side
was confined to Dwyer at first base and
